The Importance of Encapsulation in Tennessee Homes www.guardianfoundationrepair.com
Introduction Keeping your home safe and energy- efficient starts in an unexpected place —the crawl space. Many Tennessee homeowners overlook the problems caused by moisture and poor ventilation below their homes, which can lead to expensive repairs and health issues. Crawl space encapsulation isn’t just protection—it’s a smart investment in your home’s structure and air quality.
The Benefits of Encapsulation for Tennessee Homes High Humidity Levels Significant Rainfall Tennessee’s warm, humid summers make crawl spaces prone to moisture buildup. With average humidity levels between 70% and 90%, this can cause condensation, wood rot, and mold under your home. With annual rainfall averaging 50 inches —far above the national average—poor drainage from heavy rains and clay- rich soils often causes crawl space water infiltration, increasing the risk of foundation damage.
The Benefits of Encapsulation for Tennessee Homes Temperature Fluctuations High Pest Activity Tennessee's seasonal temperature swings cause soil to expand and contract, which can lead to foundation shifts and cracks. These changes increase the likelihood of moisture seeping into crawl spaces. The humid climate creates ideal conditions for pests like termites and rodents, which thrive in damp, dark spaces. Unsealed crawl spaces offer them easy entry, threatening wooden structures and insulation.
